Planned Giving
Making a planned gift is a wonderful way to show your support and appreciation for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ University and its mission while accommodating your own personal, financial, estate-planning and philanthropic goals. With smart planning, you may actually increase the size of your estate and/or reduce the tax burden on your heirs. Just as important, you will know that you have made a meaningful contribution to Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ.

Investors Society
The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ University Investors Society was established to recognize alumni and friends who have made commitments to Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s future through their wills and other planned gifts, including trusts, charitable annuities, or retirement plan designations.
These gifts have supported the construction of buildings such as ADM-Scovill Hall, created endowed scholarships to assist worthy students, and provided development opportunities for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's distinguished faculty. These gifts also give donors the opportunity to support causes important to them, and can serve as a wonderful way to memorialize someone special.
Each year, members are invited to campus to enjoy a new member induction ceremony and luncheon with the University President and hear firsthand, exclusive updates on campus, and plans for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's future. With your permission, Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ will publicly recognize your generosity on campus, as well.
We at Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ take great pride in acknowledging and recognizing our donors. If you have included Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ in your estate plans, please let us know so that we can express our gratitude and ensure that your gift is designated according to your wishes. Please be assured that any pertinent information of this nature received from our donors is kept in the strictest confidence.
